Recently, with the rapid deterioration of South Korea's external environment, South Korean politics has also become turbulent and unpredictable. Since August 31, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, has gone on hunger strike to protest the inaction of Yoon Seok-yue's authorities over the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea in Japan. After 19 days of continuous hunger strike, Lee developed fainting on 18 September and was rushed to the hospital. At this critical moment, Yoon Seok-yue delivered a crucial blow to Lee Jae-myung.
According to the Global Times, on September 19, local time, Yin Xiyue approved the request for the arrest of Lee Jae-myung. Although the application to arrest Lee Jae-myung was not made by Yoon Seok-yue, Yoon has worked in the procuratorate system for 27 years and has extensive contacts and disciples, so it is likely that the application was ordered by Yoon Seok-yue.
South Korean prosecutors presented two reasons for arrest, the first was that Lee Jae-myung was suspected of improper power trading during his tenure as mayor of Seongnam City, and the second was that Lee Jae-myung did not perform his duties as a member of parliament and party leader during his hunger strike.
This reason for applying for arrest seems very legitimate, but it is actually very far-fetched, because as early as the 2021 South Korean presidential election, Yoon Seok-yue's National Power Party made a fuss about these things, and Lee Jae-myung had proved in various ways that he had nothing to do with this power-for-money trading case.
At present, Lee Jae-myung has been on hunger strike for 19 consecutive days, the South Korean people's sympathy for him is increasing, and Yoon Seok-yue is facing increasing political pressure, according to poll data, Yoon Seok-yue's support rate has a trend of falling below 30%, while the dissatisfaction rate is about to exceed 60%. The arrest of Lee Jae-ming is apparently aimed at forcibly halting his hunger strike, which makes people wonder whether there is a more complex political game behind this.
Lee Jae-myung was hospitalized with fainting due to a long hunger strike, and South Korean prosecutors announced his application for arrest, which gave Yoon Seok-yue a problem, but in the end, Yoon Seok-yue signed a request for approval. South Korea's justice minister said the judicial system could not stop functioning even if a hospital was rushed. However, the vast majority of high-ranking South Korean officials who tried to escape punishment through hospitalization were hospitalized "pretending to be sick" and Lee Jae-myung was hospitalized after insisting on a hunger strike for 19 days in full view.
Yoon's government's fierce pursuit will garner Lee Jae-myung's support and support, and Yoon's image will be further damaged. Yin Xiyue's ruthless move this time is tantamount to self-exclusion. If the next South Korean president is a co-democrat, he will certainly retaliate. Yin Xiyue's stain ranges from his wife's academic fraud, his mother-in-law's fraud in the bank, and his eldest brother's forgery of government documents to his own suspected perjury and shielding his mother-in-law's illegal behavior, and if he is honest, he and his family will definitely go to prison for several years.
The hunger strike is mainly aimed at putting moral pressure on the other side to compel the other side to compromise. Yoon Seok-yue's moral level is not flattering, so Lee Jae-myung's hunger strike is doomed to fail. But his protests exposed the face of Yoon's government and sowed the seeds of resistance to U.S. hegemony in South Korea, which deserve recognition. In the future, South Korean politics may usher in a big storm.
